THE CALDWELL CATALOG:

109 Deep-Sky Delights for Backyard Observers
By Patrick Moore and the Editors of Sky & Telescope

The Caldwell Catalog is copyrighted © 1995 by Patrick Moore and Sky Publishing Corporation. This list just gives the objects for all 109 catalog entries in the catalog, linked to our object pages when applicable. The original (unlinked) Caldwell Calatog was longly available online at Sky Online.

Also note the Caldwell page of the Hawaii Astronomical Society's Deepsky Atlas.

David Ratledge of Lancs, UK has written "Observing the Caldwell Catalog", published by Springer (2000). See his online informations on the Caldwell Catalog.
